Pros

Intel has been like a university to me. You learn and grow a lot in a very short time. Since it's a semiconductor business, the industry is fast and aggressive. If you are passionate about your career and are young and single, Intel is the place to be.

Cons

A lot of politics on the processor side of the company. People are trying hard to let others down and shine themselves so they don't receive an IR.

Pay increases can be slow, unless you are competitive and really put in the time and effort, or you change job roles internally frequently.

Job insecurity: there will be re-orgs, and you will need to outshine to keep your current job. It is possible that you are a valuable asset, but the project gets moved or canceled, so you have to hawk internal openings all the time. Not a great feeling if you have a family to feed.
